This is the main reason I left my Apple Watch at home, it was such a distraction. I even had multiple people comment on why I was constantly looking at my watch. The thing was vibrating constantly, and it's impossible not to look at it straight away.

Why don't you just untick notifications on the app?

I had the non-LTE 3rd generation, and actually found it rather pointless in general. It was far easier to just use my phone. The only thing that was useful was the heart-rate monitor, but I could easily live without it.

Perhaps the latest gen with LTE and all the other health functions would make it useful, but I'm very hesitant to give it another try.
